Interesting facts

Robbery is a 1985 Australian television film directed by Michael Thornhill inspired by the Great Bookie Robbery.

Production

It filmed July to August 1985. Thornhill later claimed the film was extremely successful internationally.

It was made for 2/6 – that was at a time when you could get much more interesting projects through the television system here than you can now. I'm pleased with Robbery. It's a film noir that people didn't understand here as a film noir. Its basic theme is the revenge of the underclass and what the French would call the Petit Bourgeoisie, and what we might here call the lower middle class who are led by a disgruntled leader.
